Gao Shun looked up and saw Lu Bu rushing towards him with an angry look on his face, waving Fang Tian Hua Ji and chopping it down!

Gao Shun wanted to raise his spear to resist, but found that his hands and feet were weak and he could not raise his spear at all. He could only watch Fang Tian Huaji roaring down the bloody sky!

The moment Fang Tian’s painting halberd fell, Gao Shun suddenly woke up, feeling a little cold sweat behind her back.

"General, what's wrong with you, General?"

The guards around him seemed to see Gao Shun's abnormality, so they asked.

Gao Shun calmed down, "It's okay... It's okay, by the way, has the scout from the thief leader come back yet?"

The guard was about to answer when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from a distance, and then he couldn't help but look and listened to the night, "It seems like we are our people..."

Although the scout tied a linen on the horse's hooves to reduce the sound in order to keep it secret, there was still some movement in the night in the desert wilderness. Of course, it was impossible to hear it when it was far away. However, after getting closer, soldiers familiar with this movement suddenly heard it.

Gao Shun reached out to support the ground, trying to stand up, but he didn't expect that his palm would press on a sharp hard rock, which subconsciously shrank, resulting in losing the center of gravity. If he hadn't reacted faster, his other hand would have supported the ground, and he might have fallen to the sharp hard rock...

What's going on?

When I just fell asleep, I seemed to have checked the surrounding area.

Could it be that I was negligent?

Gao Shun was just about to think about it, but the news reported by the scout who came back disrupted his thinking.

"General! Found it!" The scout said excitedly, "I have found the position of the thief leader!"

『Speak quickly!" Gao Shun asked, 『How far is the distance, how many people are there?』

On the one hand, Gao Shun had to avoid the exploration of horse thieves, and on the other hand, he had to hang on the flanks of horse thieves and others. He could neither leave too far nor get too close. If Gao Shun had not been cultivating his personal guards over the years, he might not have been able to carry people to do such meticulous operations.

Moreover, it was not smooth at the beginning, because when Ma Xiu and others were marching, although there was no way to have meteor whistle and scouts like regular troops, the chaotic horse thief was also somewhat equivalent to a scout to some extent. In addition, it was impossible to erect the huge "Walk on the Way for Heaven" when they were rushing, so it was not until Ma Xiu and others stopped, as if they were discussing or waiting for something, the scout sent by Gao Shun really determined Ma Xiu's location.

"Are you really going to Xihai City?" Gao Shun frowned slightly after hearing the scout's reward.

Gao Shun thought this was a bit weird.

When Gao Shun heard the horse thief talk about this for the first time, he actually didn't believe it. At that time, he knew that Chang Cheng had some intention of scaring Chang Cheng. He thought that it would be best to scare Chang Cheng back to Xihai City, but he didn't expect that Chang Cheng would hold on.

If you hear that there are horse thieves robbing in the wild, this is definitely normal, but who has heard that horse thieves will attack the city head-on?

Gao Shun felt that it was probably the horse thief who was bragging, and it was a bit like a suspicion of a military plan. He shot Gao Shun and others to dare not come out, and then the horse thief could retreat calmly.

So Gao Shun did the opposite, allowing the front army of the horse thief to catch the horse thief leader off guard. After all, as long as there are people who retreat, people's hearts will inevitably disperse. Even if there are many people at that time, most of them will be like a flock of sheep, and they only know how to run around and there will not be many people resisting. However, Gao Shun did not expect that the main bodies of the horse thief not only did not leave but retreated, but also moved towards Xihai City.

There must be some changes in this.

Could it be...

Gao Shun thought about it, and he thought of two possibilities.

One is that not all these horse thieves are horse thieves, and it is very likely that they are mixed with other Western countries, or even the people from the Kushan region.

Another one is that the horse thief thinks he is sure to attack Xihai City, or is there an insider who is ambushed in Xihai City?

Gao Shun thought about it for a long time and felt that both were possible.

"Come!" Gao Shun quickly wrote down the two possibilities he was thinking about, and then sent them to Changcheng's place behind him, asking Changcheng to immediately pass the message to Xihai City and report it to Lu Bu.

Although he and Chang Cheng did not get along well, and even had quarrels, Gao Shun finally gave in. He came to fight, not to argue with Lu Bu or Lu Bu's men. So in the end, Gao Shun gave up on the in-depth investigation, and simply took his troops out of sight and came forward with his headquarters.

Although Gao Shun released a group of horse thieves, Gao Shun could not have thought that Chang Cheng would not even beat two or three hundred horse thieves with nearly a thousand people? Gao Shun felt that under normal circumstances, even if Chang Cheng did not do a good job of detecting when he was marching in the field, and then accidentally ran into the team and adjusted the queue slightly, the horse thieves could only retreat.

If you set up a camp and stick to it, let alone, even a pig can probably beat it.

The messenger left.

"General, we are now..." Gao Shun's guard saw that there seemed to be a new change and asked softly, "What should I do? Do you want to go back?"

Gao Shun did not answer, but asked the guards to count how much supplies and food were left in the army, then calculated the distance between him and the horse thief, and deduced the relevant battle situation.

"General, there are still some dry food, which cost about seven or eight days, but there is not much water..." The guard came back to report, "It was originally planned to go to the next water source to replenish it tomorrow morning..."

Gao Shun nodded, looked up at the sky, "Send the order and wake up your brother, and prepare to set off now before tomorrow. We must first arrive at the next water source! Then find an opportunity and take the initiative!"
